I had cars houses jewels furs and a husband who loved me and a career I was happy with. But I found fulfillment in my relationship with Christ.

If you're a Christian you don't sit there and worry about what somebody else is doing if they're happy and they're committed in a relationship.

I would say 90 percent of Christians do not have a worldview in other words a view of the world based on the Scripture and a relationship with God.

I always believed in God and Christ but I was in rebellion - trying to make my relationship with God fit into my life instead of making my life fit in with him. I was stubborn.

It is easy for Christians to have the false impression that once we have established a relationship with Christ which we believe sets us right with God the problems of life will somehow scoot away or they will slowly be removed from our lives.

But with Christ we have access in a one-to-one relationship for as in the Old Testament it was more one of worship and awe a vertical relationship. The New Testament on the other hand we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.

It's okay for Christians throughout centuries to exterminate races and for their priests to rape little kids throughout decades but trying to give the people the power to think and be individual that's evil?

I serve a higher power Jesus Christ. I make no apologies in saying that.

All national institutions of churches whether Jewish Christian or Turkish appear to me no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind and monopolize power and profit.

I've received a lot of positive feedback from both the secular and Christian markets. People seem to be receiving it with open arms and hearts and are interested in the stories I want to share about my relationship with God and my faith.

I would love to hear all types of Christian artists played all over the world. I'd love to hear good positive mainstream music played all over the place. I'd love to be able to bring music together. But I have not deserted Christ. I have not deserted my faith.

Moreover behind this vague tendency to treat religion as a side issue in modern life there exists a strong body of opinion that is actively hostile to Christianity and that regards the destruction of positive religion as absolutely necessary to the advance of modern culture.

Christians were instructed to serve others and the thanksgiving was for the grace of God and the fact that God offered a way for man to return to a positive relationship with Him.

You know I started my career in politics in 1967. I'm not new to this. I did not just fall off the Christmas tree. I understand the world is complex. I know that there are people out there who want to hurt other people.

My position is not that John Kerry is either Jesus Christ or the prophet Mohammad. My position is that John Kerry is the possibility of restarting politics.

The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country.

With participation in politics so low at the moment I think Christians should ensure their views are represented at all levels and not leave it to others.

Politics are not the task of a Christian.

For there is a sound reasoning upon all flowers. For flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.

Music is my thing. It's my thing it's what I love. It's what I do. It's football to me it's Christmas to me religion to me poetry to me.

A real Christian is a person who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.

Men may yearn for peace cry for peace and work for peace but there will be no peace until they follow the path pointed out by the Living Christ. He is the true light of men's lives.

I love Christmas. Frosty the Snowman peace on Earth and mangers Salvation Army bell ringers and reindeer the movie 'Meet Me in St. Louis ' office parties and cookies.

Not just Christians and Jews but also Muslims Buddhists Hindus and the followers of many other religions believe in values like peace respect tolerance and dignity. These are values that bring people together and enable us to build responsible and solid communities.
